What's in the Closet: Phi knit and leather gloves + vintage Chanel ring

It's a huge shame that Phi had to fold. I loves Phi's stuff... and it's harder to find when you don't live in NYC. These gloves are so well made and buttery soft. I like the concept of the attached knit sleeves. I wish they could detach. These were Fall 2009.

I got this vintage ring at a consignment shop here in NYC a few months back. It's incredibly heavy... When I first saw it, I didn't really realize it was Chanel. What drew me to it was the size of the ring, how it looked like a men's ring and the crest/shield.

What to Wear Daily: Emerald and Lace

I've owned this lace dress for many years. I was lucky to find it at a consignment store for really cheap when I lived back in Sacramento. It's one of their corset dresses that has a built in bodice and I love it. I don't believe in the whole "don't wear white after labor day" madness.

I just got back from a trip just this past weekend and one of my friends let me listen to this unreleased mix that M83 did for the Deftones new upcoming album. It was pretty exciting. The last time I saw M83, Chino from the Deftones was standing next to me. It was kind of funny because I saw him again at a Beach House show at Bottom of the Hill not very long afterward.

Speaking of Beach House... I got a ticket to their CD Release party in Brooklyn on Tuesday. I'm really excited because I haven't seen them in a while. This venue only fits about 100 people, so it will kind of feel like I was seeing them in SF again.

I'm off prepping for fashion week. I'm already starting to feel tired... Geez... I work too much!

I hope everyone is having a great New Year's so far!

Happy 2010!

I don't have way too many resolutions this year, except that I wanna quit my job this year and get a new one. (: It's not that my job is bad or awful... it's just not something I'd prefer to be doing. Hope all is well guys...

I'm going to be looking forward to fashion week in February. Maybe I'll actually push myself to actually go to Bryant Park. It was so hectic for me last season. I worked everyday and it was really exhausting.

Happy (Belated) Holidays!!

Happy Holidays Everybody!

What to Wear Daily: Winter Nights

Took this photo the last night my friends Mark and Marie were in NYC. Marie was working with Michael Kors for a few months and is back in Montreal.

Oh... how I miss them, but thank goodness I'll see them real soon.

Taking a Trip: Montreal, Quebec

I didn't take any pictures of myself while I was here. I was freezing cold. The few pictures I did take included my friends Mark and Marie that live there. It was nice to get out. It's such a great city, especially Old Montreal. I can't wait to go back during the summer to see what the city looks like then.

Hope everyone is staying warm!

What's in the Closet: Defy Ring

Defy is a jewelry label that is based in Thailand. I fell in love with their rings when I went to a small boutique in Montreal. This was the only thing I got while I was there. This ring is completely oversized (1.5" high), which I absolutely love. I'm a huge music lover and this just fit perfectly.

I'll eventually do a post with some more of my jewelry I've been collecting. I've been on a jewelry buying frenzy in the past year.

Some other random photos.

This is the only picture I had taken of myself while I was on the trip.

Taking a Trip: The Nation's Capitol

I got to DC really late, but managed to meet up some good friends. When I woke up in the morning, I got to see this view from my friend's green house. Doesn't it look amazing?

Too bad I wasn't able to be in NYC, while it was snowing for the first time. This view of the fluffy white snow is so breathtaking. I haven't seen the snow in a while.
